BECOMING INTERESTING.

The Tucker Ecmunds law has again
been hurting in Washington, this time
the colored race coming in for its ap
plication. Last week one William
Godfrey, young colored man, was
arrested and convicted for fornication
under the act named. colored girl
Is years of age being his victim. The
girl testified in the case, and declared
the crime had been committed; but also
swore that Godfrey would have married
her if her father had not refused his
assent. The court imposed fine of
300, or sixty days in jail, and the
defendant noted an appeal. When
leaying the court room the girl asked if
she could not be allowed to share the
punishment, and thus shorten the
term. The Judge astonished the
lawyers and auditors by remarking
that, practically there had been no law
on fornication for years, and he thought
that Congress had the District in mind
when the law was passed. Bigamy was
punished under the act of 1881, which
was different from the act under which
this information was brought. He held
that the phrase "all legislation not
locally inapplicable" made the act apply
here. There was no law Furnishing
bastardy, and it was needed that a law
should be passed making it obligatory
for a father to care for his offspring.
His honor may have been correct in his
supposition, but the probabilities are
largely against that presumption. 1t
was a matter OF very great
surprise when in the Surgeon Crawford
case a few weeks ago, the police justice
held that the law applied in the District
of Columbia, and congressman were
quite as much astonished as other
people, for they had no idea, when vot
ing for the bill, that they we're legislat-
ing for the nations capital, as well as
for far-off U tab and the Territories. Ii
the Washington courts and prosecutors
shall be as energetic, earnest and deter
mined as they are in Utah to enforce
the law, it will not surprise US to learn
that some advocates of the bill are
scheming for its repeal in so far as it
applies to the national capital.

desire to gain and retain the good Will
and secure a share of the carrying bust
ness of the city.
But in order to make this the great
ore-reduction centre, al effort must
be put forth by our citizens. If
we sit quietly down and do moth
ing, some other and more enterprising
people will reap the harvest which We
should gather. Nothing can be had
without an effort, and in this case We
may be assured that unless the effort is
promptly put forth on the part of Salt
Lake, others will take advantage of our
slothfulness and lack of enterprise, to
help themselves.
The natter is worthy the immediate
and intelligent consideration OF our
business 10 en- and property owners, and
it is hoped they will not permit the OPP
portunity to aid themselves and Salt
Lake City go by unimproVed.

THE RAILROAD TROUBLES.
Attention Called to the Tracks In South
Washington.


A committee of South Washington clt
zens held lengthy interview with the
commissioners yesterday in reference to the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad occupying
the streets and obstructing the same with
cars. The result of the interview was that
an order was prepared calling the attention
Of the company to the law on the subject.
A letter accompanies the order, which
states: "Numerous complaints Of the vio-
lation Of this statute have been made, and
am instructed to request you to give such
orders to your employees as will effect com
pliance Herewith In the future and obvl-
ate the necessity on the part of the com
missioners Of the taking further steps to Sc
cure its observance
The commissioners also notified johnson
Bros, who have track on Thirteenth street
southwest, that unless they secure permls-
sion from Congress to use Thirteenth street
southwest for carrying car loads OF coal to
their whaives the permit granted by the
commissioners will be revoked at the close
Of the next session Of Congress.
In regard to the recent accident on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad In this city, the
Engineering NetUs, Of Now York, says that
the curve on the "Y" was IA degrees instead
Of 45, as reported, and that. the curve was IN
no respect ob1eotionably sharp, the Penn
sylvania road having one OF less than half
the radius In its mail track at Pittsburg aud
the New York Central and many other roads
sharper ones in similar localities. The NeVs
places the responsibility for the accident on
the air brakes.
1t says the "fallure Of the air brakes to
act was due merely to the fact that the
train was equipped with the old straight air
brake, which the Baltimore and Ohio has
persisted using years after there was
notoriously better one In almost universal
use.
"Recently, frightened by the Republic and
other accidents, they have contracted to
put the Westinghouse automatic on all It's
passenger stock, and 1t would seem as II 1t
should have been in use on this important
train, but the change has probably pro
ceeded slowly; 1t is a way changes have on
The Baltimore and Ohio. 1t was the cradle

must be said 1t has remained such ever
